A seawall was first constructed in the 1780s by John Harriott, and the island has been the object of farming activities since then.[2][3] The local racehorse trainer and one-time Rushley Island owner, Frank Threadgold, once bred a horse which he named after the island. Born in 1976 she was a bay mare with horseracing parents called Crooner and Vicki Ann. She was later trained at the famous Newmarket track by Mr. H. C. Westbrook and was entered as a two-year-old for four races, mainly over a distance of six furlongs, between September and November 1978. These took place at Yarmouth, Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster. Unfortunately she was not a tremendously successful racehorse, finishing, at best, second from last in all these races, and she was retired for breeding purposes back into the ownership of the Threadgold family at Southend-on-Sea, who have farmed land at nearby Great Wakering since the 1930s. Sadly, she did not prove to be too successful at breeding either, although she did have one colt, a bay called Tudor Rhythm, in 1980, which was never raced. In 1987 she was officially retired from stud and disappeared from the record books.[4] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Holland |first=J. |year=2007 |title=Exploring the Islands of England and Wales: including the Channel Islands |publisher=Frances Lincoln |page= 92}} {{Commons cat|Rushley Island}}{{Essex-geo-stub}}2. ^Fautley, M.
